Mrs. Hudson's screams soon died down, and the anxious footsteps of the four reverberated back and forth in the empty castle. Suddenly, Thatch stopped, turned around, and showed a look of chagrin, as if he had been greatly deceived. When Eric saw Thatch's sudden change of expression, he realized something at once, and he wanted to grit the root of his teeth. As soon as he turned around, he pulled Chiko and ran back the way he came.

"What's the matter, what the hell is going on!" Chiko was dazed by Eric's tugging, wasn't Mrs. Hudson's room in that direction?

"We've been tricked. Eric didn't care to explain much, and just threw out the result, "Leonardo is still there." ”

"Leonardo?" Now Qianzi understood, this may be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Unfortunately, when Eric and Chiko return to the scene of the crime, only Monica's body remains. Eric picked up the broken spectacle lenses on the floor, as well as a thin banded of blood, and immediately deduced the scene. Leonardo was attacked, his glasses shattered in the struggle, his feet stomped on Monica's bloodstains, and he was dragged away.

Chiko walked along the bloodstain for a while and found that there was no trace at the corner of the corridor, and it seems that the murderer was very careful and had already discovered the trail that Leonardo had inadvertently left behind.

"Who would do it. Chiko's anxiety was engraved on her brow.

"Think about who else was there at the time. Eric prompted.

"Steward Shook?" Chiko recalled the scene at that time, except for Leonardo, there was only Schock Butler. Chiko still remembers that after Monica was found dead, it was Shaw's butler who commanded the dispatch at the scene, so that everyone was in their place, and in the end, he was the only servant left. Looking at it this way, Xiao Ke has already had other plans.

"Can there be anyone else?" Eric suddenly felt that Monica's death in front of him was particularly abrupt and awkward.

"Looks like it's still not in time, is it?" Catelyn panted at the end of the hallway.

"Well, what about Mrs. Hudson?" Chiko prayed in her heart for a wishful reply.

"Mrs. Hudson was hit in the head and is now in a coma, but nothing serious. Caitlyn's tone was filled with the joy of the rest of her life, "But her servant Eluni was killed, and judging from the scene, Eluni should have saved Mrs. Hudson desperately." ”

"So we're defeated now?" asked Chiko in frustration.

"Not really. Our Commissioner Thatch is not a dog to be messed with. Eric said soothingly.

Eric's funny analogy made Caitlyn almost chuckle, and she explained to the two of them with great restraint: "Director Thatch has sealed off the castle, and no one is allowed to enter it, including us, of course. I don't think the man dragged Leonardo out of here yet, and Mrs. Hudson was already being escorted by the Commissioner's agents. ”

"Detective, it's up to you next. Caitlin looked Eric expectantly.

"I have to say, this bad old man can really get into trouble. Eric smiled wryly.

"But I still don't understand, how did the murderer know that we would leave Leonardo alone?" asked Chiko.

"Because even if Leonardo is not left alone, with his age and size, he can only hold out half the distance from Monica's crime to Mrs. Hudson's room at most, perhaps the murderer would have preferred Leonardo to run with us, and such a panting fat old man would be easier to clean up. Eric explained.

"This means that the location where Monica was killed is very important. Caitlin spoke her mind.

"This is the guest level of the castle, and the distance from Mrs. Hudson's master bedroom is 500 meters in a straight line, and then the elevator to the upper floor, which is more than enough. It shows that whether it is Shocke or Mrs. Hudson's murderer, this operation has been carefully calculated, whether it is the distance, or the timing of the move, or the cooperation of the two, it must be grasped just right. Eric added.

"How they did it. "It is hard to imagine who could have made such a delicate arrangement in the castle of a prestigious leader of the House of Lords.

At that moment, Caitlyn's cell phone rang. Caitlyn received Thatch's order to take Eric and Chiko to a study that was originally Mrs. Hudson's study, but now became Thatch's operational command room.

"The murderer and Leonardo are still in this castle. Thatch didn't look up at Eric and Chiko as they entered.

"I know. Eric sat down on the couch.

"It was a very precise operation. Thatch still hasn't looked up.

"I know. Eric poured himself another glass of soda.

"Now I can only look up from Monica. Thatch looked up, a grim look at Eric.

"I know that too. Eric's perfunctory performance made Caitlin break out in a cold sweat for him.

"There's something you don't know. Thatch's voice suddenly turned cold, for it had been a long time since anyone had offended him so impudently as the curly-haired detective.

"We're looking for it. Caitlin couldn't help but step up and try to interrupt to salvage the icy atmosphere.

"Agent Caitlin, I didn't let you speak. Thatch could see Caitlin's intentions at a glance.

"Thatch, there's no need to be so nervous, like you said, we're not too bad, you've sealed the whole castle, Mrs. Hudson is in danger, and we still have Monica's clue. Eric ignored Thatch's anger.

"It seems that you are optimistic. Thatch sarcastically said.

"I've always been optimistic, and optimism is the motivation to move forward, and if you live a gloomy life every day, how meaningless life is. Eric shot back.

"I don't know why Jefferson chose you, in my eyes, you're just a bug with no sense of purpose. Thatch had developed a deep dislike for Eric.

"To exist is to be reasonable, even if it is a bed bug, there are things that a vicious dog can't do. Eric stood up, "I don't think there's any good news for our Lord Thatch, and I know that it's much more useful to walk around than to sit in the study and guess more than to stay in the study." ”

With that, Eric took Chiko's hand again and walked out the door. Even Chiko herself wondered why she no longer rejected skin-to-skin contact with Eric, and when Eric held her wrist, there was still a trace of trust and needed warmth in her heart.

"I'm ......" Seeing Eric and Chiko's actions, Caitlin was about to follow, but was sternly stopped by Thatch. This makes Caitlyn wonder, because not so long ago, it was Commissioner Thatch who had asked him to spy on Eric, and now he and Chiko were allowed to investigate the case freely.

But seeing Thatch's disobedient gaze, Caitlyn complied with orders to go to Mrs. Hudson's room to take up her duty of security.
